I’ve reduced my snooze hits to 5, as opposed to 8 or 9. I’m getting there.

rock climbing. I did it on a wall, not on an actual rock. I just didn’t look down, I jut kept looking up at the next step I had to take and before I knew it I was twenty feet up. I have since worked my way up to sixty feet. Now I’m looking for a bigger wall. It really, really scary when you finally do look down, but then you’re getting ready to come down so its okay.

in speaking contests which helped me overcome my fears. Being truely prepared really helps too.

I have found for photo manipulation and creating graphics, both for web and press use. Combined with Adobe Illustrator, you can create ANYTHING you want to! Good luck guys!

you pretty much have to know Photoshop like the back of your hand to be successful. So I have learned it. After I knew the basics, I walked through a bunch of tutorials to learn some other features. I’ve grown to be a Photoshop major.

I graduate high school, pending how well I do on my finals.
Its so exciting to think that I no longer have to put up with certain people and my life is actually going to be starting.

I’ve done devotions and it really puts me in a better mood and makes me think about stuff.

amazing. Everytime I feeling down, I can just close my eyes and talk to God and he gives me strength.

Through the FFA I have developed leadership and it really helps me in everything I do. Its awesome!

I purchased three devotion books by Ron Luce recently and hope to make time to work through them.

I have and need to read:

Pride and Prejudice
Little Women
Robinson Crusoe
Persuasion
The Time Machine

I have lived inMissouri for a while now and I love it. I love the role of agiculture, the fact the everything you could need from a big city just a drive away and the closeness of the communities. I encourage anbody who would be interested in moving here. I live in the Ozark Mountains near Springfield and its truely great area to live in!

I ran against a bunch of my friends and even though I didn’t get it, one of my very good friends did and just the interview process was an amazing expierence. (sp?)

Good luck!

I just joined a team for Relay For Life. You have to raise one hundred dollars and you get to spend a whole night hanging out with friends. I’m excited!

I got a job at McDonalds. I have only worked one day and doubt I’ll enjoy it but at least I’m making more. I got another job at Ruby Tuesdays but it doesn’t open for like another month. During the summer I’m going to work at McDonalds during the day and Ruby Tuesdays in the evening.

I’m down to three a day, Monday through Friday. I don’t smoke at all on Saturday and Sunday. I got the patches and they work but the are realy expensive. Next week I’m hoping to reduce to just two per day, then the week after that just one. Then I’ll be free.

yesterday me and friend went and looked at an apartment. Its a two bedroom, 1,100 sq. feet and just $610 a month. Its beautiful. Now I need to graduate a save up money to have in savings, then I’ll be ready!

I’ve decided that as birthday gift to myself and because I find irony hilarious, I will officially quit smoking on my 18th birthday, when it becomes legal for me to be able to do so. With my money I’m going to buy some of those patches and officially be done. Wsh me luck!

I have whitened my teeth, then my coffee drinking habits always put me right back where I was. Either start getting enough sleep that I’m not tired, therefore don’t need the coffee or continue this cycle.

I quit my job. My manager/exboyfriend is an ass. I’m going to put in applications today. Wish me luck!
